Eric Weinberg, who has been executive co-producer of series such as Scrubs and Californication, was arrested Thursday on charges of sexual assault, according to police.
Weinberg was booked by the Los Angeles Police Department and arrested on $ 3.225 million bail due to multiple incidents of alleged sexual assault between 2012 and 2019, LAPD Public Information Officer Tony Im said and The Hollywood Reporter.
According to an arrest report, Weinberg was arrested at a residence in the Los Feliz neighborhood of LA and charged with several counts of sexual assault, including rape. The report alleges that Weinberg would approach the women telling them he was a photographer and organize photo shoots with them at their residence, where the alleged assault incidents would occur.
The Los Angeles district attorney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether he had begun reviewing the case.
Weinberg is credited as the executive co-producer of more than 100 episodes of NBC’s Scrubs. He has also worked in the same position on Showtime’s Californication, starring David Duchovny, and FX’s Anger Management, directed by Charlie Sheen.
For his work on Scrubs and also for his writing on Politically Incorrect, he has been nominated for five Emmy Awards. Other TV credits include Veronica’s Closet, Wilfred, American Dad! and Graves.
